Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

Dear Facebook,

I’m not one of those people who always cries foul whenever a website tries to access my personal information because they legally have to give you a chance of opting out of everything – which I invariably do.  However, Facebook is clearly pushing the boundaries by changing privacy settings without telling anyone in the hope that they can make some extra cash in the meantime.  According to the papers this morning you have been AT IT AGAIN.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to make an annoucement on Facebook everytime you change the privacy settings rather than adding it by stealth?  Thankfully the latest problems can be overcome by going to a Home page and clicking on Privacy, followed by External Websites and closing down any options on there.

Yours suspiciously,

A.Tory
